Description of Solicitation Amendment 0011:

Revise Block 11: Offerors shall submit no more than one (1) revised proposal to the Contract Specialist, Andrew.k.jacobs.civ@mail.mil, and to the Contracting Officer, Ashley.e.Keating.civ@mail.mil.

The purpose of this Amendment (0011) is as follows:

1. Revise Section L, Paragraph L.15.1.2:

FROM:

L.15.1.2 SF 33 and SF 30 forms shall be signed as required in accordance with FAR 4.102. Digital signatures or handwritten signatures on a scanned copy are acceptable. Submission of the SF 33 and SF 30 forms is not included in the page limit for the cover letter. By signing and submitting the signed SF 30 form for Solicitation Amendment 0006, the offeror acknowledges the Solicitation and Amendments

0001 through 0006, and affirms the entire proposal will remain valid through October 31, 2017. Offeror proposals that do not remain valid through October 31, 2017 shall not be considered for award.

TO:

L.15.1.2 SF 33 and SF 30 forms shall be signed as required in accordance with FAR 4.102. Digital signatures or handwritten signatures on a scanned copy are acceptable. Submission is required only via email, no hard copies are required. Submission of the SF 33 and SF 30 forms is not included in the page limit for the cover letter. By signing and submitting the signed SF 30 form for Solicitation Amendment

0011, the offeror acknowledges the Solicitation and Amendments 0001 through 0011 (with the exception of Amendment 0007, which was administratively canceled), and affirms the entire proposal will remain valid through October 31, 2018. Offeror proposals that do not remain valid through October 31, 2018 shall not be considered for award.

2. Revise Section M.2.1:

FROM:

The Government intends to make awards to approximately 20 small businesses and 30 large businesses. However, the Contracting Officer will determine the actual number of awards depending on the number of quality proposals received. Small business proposals and large business proposals will be evaluated and ranked separately. The Government will determine if the company is a small business or a large business based on the cover letter and certifications submitted with the proposal. Small businesses will not be ranked with large businesses, and large businesses will not be ranked with small businesses. Contracts will be awarded to both the small businesses and large businesses at the same time. In the event of a tie at the 20th offeror (small businesses) or 30th offeror (large businesses), all offerors in the tie will receive a contract award. A tie is defined as the source selection authority determining that two (2) or more offerors provide equal value to the Government, when all factors are considered.

TO:

The Government has received a large number of quality proposals and has made award to fifty six (56) offerors during Phase 1 of the procurement. Consistent with the solicitation provision stating that the number of awardees will be based on the number of quality proposals received, the Government intends to issue awards to additional offerors during Phase 2, without a pre-determined limit. Small business proposals and large business proposals will be evaluated and ranked separately. The Government will determine if the company is a small business or a large business based on the cover letter and certifications submitted with the proposal. Small businesses will not be ranked with large businesses, and large businesses will not be ranked with small businesses. Contracts will be awarded to both the small businesses and large businesses at the same time. In the event of a tie between offerors that provide a best value after the trade-off analysis is completed, all offerors in the tie will receive a contract award. A tie is defined as the source selection authority determining that two (2) or more offerors provide equal value to the Government, when all factors are considered.

3. To update Section K, FAR 52.204-8 and 52.219-1, to list the NAICS code and the small business standard as those sections were inadvertantly left blank in Amendment 0010.
